ImDOrfant 70 Farm q RS.

a recent new regulation Of the New
York Cotton Exchange in regard to the
weight of bales, is Of interest to every
packer of this staple. On and after Sep
tember 1st, cotton buyers in all interior
towns will deduct from bales weighing
less than 400 pounds one-qnarter cent per
pound; under $50 pounds one-half cent
per pound, and packages weighing less
than 300 pounds will not be considered
bales, and consequently understandable.
The present cotton season is now almost
upon us, and our farmors should keep
this in remembrance in order that their
cotton may be packed in bales sufficiently
large to he saleable, without any deduc-
ton undor the now regulations.
